Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

The CSDDD makes sustainability due diligence a legal obligation for large companies within its scope: according to the directive, companies must embed sustainability due diligence into their policies and management systems, identify and address relevant impacts, take appropriate measures to prevent or stop them, monitor effectiveness, communicate where required, and provide remediation where they have caused or contributed to harm.
